"
Baton Rouge rapper Lil Boosie arrived at district
court Tuesday morning for a pre-trial motion and
ended up pleading guilty to drug charges.
Lil Boosie, whose real name is Torrence Hatch,
pleaded guilty to three counts of conspiring to
bring drugs into a penal institution. Judge Mike
Erwin sentenced him to eight years in prison.
Investigators said he tried to smuggle drugs into
Dixon Correctional Center once and into Angola
State Penitentiary twice.
After the judge announced the sentencing, Lil
Boosie requested drug rehab. Erwin said he would
recommend it but could not order it.
Supporters for the rapper were seen hanging their
heads low once the judge made that statement." -
